As expected, ABC has cancelled their summer series Black Box after one season of 13 episodes, reports EW.
Black Box revolves around a beautiful and brilliant neuroscientist (Kelly Reilly) who’s hiding the fact that she’s bipolar. The rest of the cast includes Ditch Davey, David Ajala, Terry Kinney, Ali Wong, David Chisum, Laura Fraser, Siobhan Williams, and Vanessa Redgrave.
The series debuted in late April to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.87 million viewers. It was a mediocre start for the dramatic series and the numbers got progressively worse as new episodes were released. Towards the end of its 13 episode run, Black Box dropped to a 0.6 demo rating with 3.72 million.
The last two episodes aired on July 24th, leaving the main character’s professional fate up in the air.
What do you think? Did you like the Black Box series? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Why do you think the show didn’t catch on?
It should not have been canceled. I was looking forward to the second season. Abc made a mistake.
It shouldn’t have been cancelled. It was just starting to get more exciting to watch.
This is nuts! It was one of my favorite shows, as others have said, intelligent, informative, and most of all I loved Kelly Reilly and her acting. She was excellent!
WHW!!! OMG!!! I love this show. Please bring it back.
I was looking forward for its return, other than the commercials were annoying I loved this show. It was smart and hip. Very different format than other repetitious shows. Also a subject matter that many families must deal with, but have difficulty talking about. Damn disapointed!!! Maybe the earlier time change didn’t help the ratings.
omg i cannot belive it was canceled bring black box back
i will never watch abc again
I love this show!!! I may not of been able to watch it when it aired because I work 2 jobs but i did watch it on Hulu. I can’t believe it cancelled. I can only hope that the network changes their mind and this show comes back on. I was always wondering what was going to happen next.
Yes lets start a petition… Im in love with this show
The idea of a petition is a good one! Start one and send it out and we will all sign it and forward it onto people we know….this show cannot die!
I’m so mad they cancelled this show!! It was my favorite. The story line was great and she played the part amazingly. BRING IT BACK!!
I cannot believe this show was cancelled. I am beyond pissed! This was one of my shows that I watched religiously. Great story line and great characters that really had me hooked. 🙁
#BringBlackBoxBack
I loved this show!! I started after it was over before checking for a season 2, which was obviously a horrible idea. Now I’m hooked and it’s cancelled.
It was an intelligent and exciting series. I miss black box!!!i was looking forward to season 2 :-(( sooo sad

WTF is wrong with ABC I love Black box they even had a cliff hanger !!
Can’t believe “Black Box” was cancelled. My husband and I were hooked! Each episode kept us coming back for the next. Hated it left us with a cliff hanger. It was an intelligent series.
Noooooo! I looked forward to this show every week. Just went on a computer search to see when the new shows aired, only to find out it won’t. So disappointed. I loved this show. The characters, drama, the acting. If it EVER comes back, please send me an e-mail, as I am still anxious for MORE.
